Ever wondered what goes through an artist’s mind just seconds before stepping on stage? If you happened to catch Alex’s adventurous moment on AGT, you might think swearing could be a sign of cosmic mischief guided by the stars. With Mercury playing tricks in retrograde, it’s no surprise that the universe decided to bless us with a spontaneous “Fuck yeah!” from him—right in front of the camera! As he reflects on this hilarious blunder and shares his pre-show rituals that would make any skeptic chuckle, the buzz around his forthcoming EP and upcoming tour makes it clear this is just the beginning of more delightful surprises. Ready to dive into a blend of laughter, music, and a dash of astrological wonder? You’re in for a treat! LEARN MORE.
Here’s a funny story I don’t think I’ve told before. AGT is all live cameras, so there’s supposed to be no swearing. I get off stage after one of my performances, and I’m looking at the camera to my left, and I just go, “Fuck yeah!” Then I was like, “Oops!”
The crew started laughing, and I saw people in the audience laughing. We weren’t actually live, which was great. But one of my friends texted me — they were all the way up in the nosebleeds, and they were like, “Did you just swear on live TV, you idiot?” It was so funny.
Do you have any pre-show rituals before going onstage?
Alex: My drummer, my guitarist, and I will get into a little huddle, and we’ll start hyping ourselves up. We do that every night, and it’s hilarious. Anybody that walks by is probably thinking, “These people are insane!”
Then I try and do a little five-minute vocal warm-up, say a prayer, and off I go.
What are you most excited about for the rest of the year?
Alex: Definitely the EP. When I performed all the songs on tour, everyone was so happy and loved all of them, so I’m very excited about that. That was a way for me to test the waters and see which songs connected. I am performing at Summerfest in June, and I’m excited about that. I’m also going on tour again at the end of the year as an opener, but I can’t say who yet. [We chatted before Alex announced he is opening for Freya Skye!]
I’ll be working on my next headlining tour shortly after that, so I’ve got a lot coming up. I’m working on more music and a bunch of other things, too. I just randomly flew to Barcelona this weekend for something. I’m sure if you ask me this question a month from now, my answer might be different — but definitely more music, more shows, and some surprises.
